Equipment

  • Large saucepan (for meat sauce)
  • Medium saucepan (for béchamel)
  • Baking dish (9x13 inch)
  • Wooden spoon
  • Whisk
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

For the Meat Sauce (Ragù):

  • 500 g ground beef
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup beef stock
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Béchamel Sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk warm
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Assembly:

  • 9 lasagne sheets
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions
 

Step 1: Make the Meat Sauce

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft. Stir in garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
  • Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and beef stock. Add oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
  • Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and rich.

Step 2: Prepare the Béchamel Sauce

  • In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk continuously for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
  • Gradually add warm milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens. Add nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 4: Assemble the Lasagne

  • Spread a thin layer of meat sauce at the bottom of the baking dish. Add a layer of lasagne sheets, followed by more meat sauce, then béchamel sauce.
  • Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with béchamel and a generous sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Step 5: Bake

  • Bake for 40–45 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling.

Step 6: Rest and Serve

  • Let the lasagne rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set properly.
